Error description

• Interim fix JR52979
  (http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1JR52979) is
  intended to improve how fast the Team Performance dashboard
  loads when there are many teams and process application
  snapshots. With the interim fix installed on IBM Business
  Process Manager (BPM) V8.5.0.1 with IBM DB2 as the database;
  however, performance might still be slow the first time the
  dashboard loads after the IBM BPM server is started or
  restarted.
  
  PRODUCTS AFFECTED
  IBM BPM Advanced
  IBM BPM Standard
  IBM BPM Express
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Interim fix JR52979 does not contain the correct version of the
  database query definition file for DB2 (the version of the file
  for DB2 on z/OS was incorrectly included in the location where
  the DB2 version of the file should be located). As a result, if
  you run the BPMConfig command after installing the interim fix,
  the IBM BPM profile is not properly updated based on a DB2
  database with the query definition
  (find-project-id-where-participant-group-defined) that was added
  in interim fix JR52979. A more inefficient team lookup method
  is used; however, it is slower in an IBM BPM environment that
  has a large number of teams and process application snapshots.
  
  The first time anyone loads the Team Performance dashboard
  without using the database query to look up the team
  information, it loads slowly. Subsequent loads of the Team
  Performance dashboard are faster because the results of the team
  lookups are still stored in the team information cache that was
  also added in interim fix JR52979.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 that includes the
  correct DB2 version of the database query definition file,
  correcting the issue.
